Title:
  Ubuntu 14.04 Final Beta installer hangs

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  It just hangs on the "Preparing to install Ubuntu" screen. Nothing
  happens even after 5 minutes. I tried installing Ubuntu from CD and
  USB drive - no difference. I also tried passing nodmraid kernel
  option, also without success, and finally I tried installing it from
  Live CD and directly from "Install".

  Here is what I found in the syslog:

  Mar 30 11:37:36 ubuntu partman:   No matching physical volumes found
  Mar 30 11:37:36 ubuntu partman:   Reading all physical volumes.  This may take a while...
